BOGUS MEDICAL DIPLOMAS.

A Correspondent Claims to Have Detected
an Alleged Physician in Lewiston, Me-,
Selling Medical Diplomas and Degrees.
BosroN, Feb. 12.-The Herald yesterday
morning devoted a whole page, claiming to
have detected an alleged physician named
Samuel York, Of Lewiston, Me-, in the
act of selling medical diplomas and
degrees. The Herald's Investigations were
instigated by the fact that some time
ago, one DR.. James NJ. BuzZel, Of Portland,
was arrested for an alleged abortion, and o
few weeks later, ''Dr." Morrill, was arrested
on a similar charge in Lewiston, both claim
ing to be graduates Of tho Maine Eclectic
Medical College, Of Lewiston. AS Samuel
York, N. D., whose name is first on the list
Of the incorporators Of the Maine Eclectic
College, as DIR. Samuel York, whose name
heads a similar list in connection with the
Maine Eclectic Medical Infirmary, is the
very venerable Prof 8. York, M, D., Dean
Of the Faculty Of the Druidic University Of
America, State of Maine branch, he had
several strings to his bow. Some OF his CO.
incorporators were reputable, well-mean-
ing people, but the whole concern was
practically managed by York. When the
Eclectic Inarmary was started q circu-
lar was issued, announcing that the
design was to establish free hospital, and
gifts were solicited. The Heralds repre-
sentative under the guise of a student, was
enabled to hear the professor conduct a
''quiz" and much space is'devoted in yester-
days article to that feature. According to
DR.. York's own statement the Druidic Uni
versity has 5000 graduates, or rather 5000
individuals connected with it. DIR. York

object being to get the price of a diploma,
giving, in return, the degrees Of A. M, M.
D., ETC. The Herald vouches for the truth
Of the story, and claims that it can be sub
stantiated, if necessary, in any court of
law. In it's investigation it has been en-
couraged in every possible manner by the
members OF the medical profession in Maine
and by the municipal authorities of Lewis

"All but the old maids. They are not
in sight as far as can see," replied tho
American, with sigh.
"Why, don't you seep This red clover
is enriched, sweetened and fructified
by humble bees.'
"But where do the old maids come

wiping his brow wearily.
"Why, it is as plain as the nose on

undermines and robs their nest

He has no personal following either in his

How Life is Made Miserable for the Iris
Landlords.
New York, January 3d-A. MT. P.
Gill telegraphs from Dublin to the Tribune:
The first move by legal process on the part
of the landlords to get at the money
funded under the plan of campaign has
just been made. Some of the tenants on
the Ponsonby estate, in Cork. and the
Brooke estate, in Wexford, have been
served with summons in bankruptcy. 1t
seems to make a bankrupt of the tenant
unless he Immediately pays one-half
years rent, which is all that
he owes. The object of the land
lords presumably is to get the tenants
into the Bankruptcy Court, where they can
be subjected to searching examination to,
find out what they have done with the rent
money. If a tenant reveals the name
of trustee under the plan, a garnishee
order will be issued requiring the
trustee to restore to the landlord
the amount of rent lodged by that
tenant. To recover the rest of the entire
estate by this method, it would be necessary
to set the whole machinery in operation
against the tenants separately, and even if
the tenants were to offer no obstruction it
would take months and cost more than the.
rental to collect il.

Lack of Money Prevents the Gar from
Going to War.
New YORK, January 3d--A. M The
Tribune says, editorially: Amid the
rumors of wars and hope of peace in
Europe one fact is significant. 1t is to be
observed that the greatest banking syndi-
cate in the world positively refuses further
loans to Russia. The Cars Empire is now
practically bankrupt, and though it is
observed that bankruptcy never kept na-
ton from going to war, it is not to
be doubted that the impossibility Of secur-
ing war loan in the money markets of
Europe will have a decidedly pacifcatory
influence at st. Petersburg. German banks
have already advanced large sum to Rus
sia: and their refusal to loan more is an act
of selfdefense. At the same time this ac
shows that those best informed on the sub
ject know that Russia would go to war
she were provided with the necessary fnan
cial means"

A Cattle Company Fails.

GALVESTON, January 2d.-An Austin
special to the NeWs SAYS The Dolores
Land and Cattle Company of Texas, which
was chartered during the last year with
stated capital of 100000. made an as
signment here yesterday. The company,
as chartered, was composed of w. S.
Carethar and Geo. A. Searight, with 900
shares each. Recently. however, Mr.
Carether disposed of his interest to other
members of the company In Dun's
Register of January, Mr.. Geo. Searight's
live stock interests at Cheyenne are rated
at over $3.50. 600 and the Searight Cattle
Company's interests, also in Wyoming, at
over 81 100000. 1t is understood that Mr..
Searight has disposed of his Wyoming in
terests, but not without a considerable
shrinkage. The papers OF assignment, as
filed here, and signed by Messrs. Searight
and A. F. Robbins, show in round figures
liabilities of half million dollars. The
company also owes about $4,000 in attor-
neys' fees. The assets, it is stated, foot up
about $4,000. The assignment creates
great surprise and regret, on account of the
high standing of the persons concerned in
the enterprise. The assets, however, as
